My favourite author William Gibson has recently joined Twitter. I love this tweet of his – it’s pure Gibson distilled to just 137 characters:
In Paris, I always imagine living in a doghouse-sized all-Muji garret. Tiny corrugated cardboard speakers. Plastic the color of Vaseline.
It reminds me think of the opening line to his ground breaking novel Neuromancer
The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel.
Imagine being able to convey so much in so few words.
